gitmesh AGENTS.md

gitmesh AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from LF-Decentralized-Trust-labs/gitmesh. It costs 1,129 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Repository instructions for coding agents working on GitMesh, a command-line tool and GitHub Action that checks and manages agent configuration in a code repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Following the repository map and hard rules, working through tasks in order, and knowing when to read the pivot documents or stop for clarification.
Why use it?
They keep work aligned with the project’s current change plan and prevent agents from skipping required tasks, tests, or maintainer decisions.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

gitmesh AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

GitMesh: Instructions for Coding Agents

Status: repository pivot in progress

GitMesh is pivoting from a multi-agent orchestration runtime to the Agent Workspace Compiler: a single CLI + GitHub Action that audits (doctor), compiles (apply), drift-checks (check), and enforces (policy) coding-agent configuration from the repo. No server, no database, no daemon in the new product.

Before any work, read doc/pivot/pivot.md (the canonical plan) and doc/pivot/research_results.md (the evidence). If anything in this repository, including this file, contradicts doc/pivot/pivot.md, the pivot doc wins.

How to work

  • Implement the task backlog in doc/pivot/pivot.md §12 strictly in order, starting from the first unfinished task. One task = one branch/PR.
  • Meet the task's acceptance criteria and add its tests before moving on. Never batch tasks, never skip ahead, never start a task the previous one hasn't unblocked.
  • If the plan is ambiguous, or reality contradicts it (an agent vendor changed a config format since 2026-07-19), stop and ask the maintainer, citing the pivot section number. Never improvise silently on plan-level decisions.

Repository map

Area Status Notes
cli/ ACTIVE becomes the gitmesh CLI (doctor, init, migrate, apply, check, policy); legacy commands move under gitmesh legacy (task T0.3)
lib/workspace-core/ ACTIVE (new) IR, normalizer, GM risk rules, lockfile, marker/merge engine
lib/workspace-adapters/ ACTIVE (new) per-agent adapters: detect / import / plan / emit + golden fixtures. (Planned as lib/adapters/ in doc/pivot/pivot.md §10.8/T0.2; renamed because that directory already holds the frozen legacy runtime adapters. Maintainer decision, 2026-07-19)
existing lib/ code (OPA policy compiler, MCP/ACP parsers, Ed25519 attestation, forge clients) REUSE repurpose per doc/pivot/pivot.md §9.1: do not rewrite wholesale, do not delete
server/, ui/, docker/, playbooks/, agents/, heartbeat / Postgres / webhook code FROZEN do not modify, refactor, "clean up", or delete anything here
doc/, docs/ docs doc/pivot/pivot.md is canonical; server-era docs (doc/SETUP.md, doc/DEVELOPING.md, docker-compose files) are legacy, so do not follow them for pivot work

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
